My latest (description from Amazon): Meet five North Carolina women who are about to change the way you think about friendship. For Rhonda, a gritty, fun-loving hairdresser in tight jeans, the sights and smells of Ridgecrest Nursing Center are depressing. But before she can change her mind about working there, two residents glue themselves to her: Margaret, droll and whip-smart, with a will of iron that never fails her even when her body does, and Bernice, an avid country music fan who is rarely lucid. Together with Lorraine, their church-going, God-questioning nurse, and her daughter, April, bright and ambitious, they lock arms in courage and humor for a journey that speaks to us all—of how we live and die, of how we love and forgive.
I really loved this book. It was truly a book on how to be a better person. It showed such a unique and improbable friendship between four completely opposite people and yet their quartet made such sense. The common denominator between them was unselfishness and a sincerity for simply being good and honest which in turn drew them together. Their different backgrounds and ages and races made no difference when real life stepped in. All that mattered then was an arm to hold on to, a shoulder to cry on and someone to simply hold their hand when they were scared or tired. A simple feel good book. Read it.
